Oldtent Archives 2007 - 2008

Thanks for the weather heads up. Teens huh?

Glad to have the Tent back and a fire to warm the feets.

Stay warm, G’night Farmboy

Thanks for answering all those questions.

A tip of the straw hat to you and your fellow adventurers.

Keep the stories and pictures coming….with every one, I slip back into younger days. Times, when the cold, or heat, or snakes, or whatever, never deterred the adventure at hand.

Stay young, and safe, Best Farmboy

Keep fingers crossed!

There may still be some servers that have not resolved the domain/ip match to the new dedicated server…if you are being routed to goldwily.com that means you are still being routed to the HM server…I have put in a redirect to goldwily from hostmonster(old) goldtent.

Hopefully this is a propagation issue…are the offended in more remote locations?

…I think you were “OUT”.longer than the tent was “out”

The Greatest Wealth Transfer Ever

Michael Maloney

The Greatest Wealth Transfer in the History of Mankind Starts Now!

Snip:

“Right now, the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the banking system seem to be gearing up for an event the likes of which has never been seen. I believe the crisis that will unfold over the next few years will add up to the biggest economic event in history. The scale of what is happening will dwarf all other economic events combined. The Tulip mania of 1637, John Law’s “Mississippi Scheme” of 1720, and the dot-com / tech bubble of 1999 will pale by comparison. Even the hyperinflation in Weimar Germany in 1923 and the Great Depression will seem like a walk in the park compared to what is coming.”

Note: This article is dated from Dec so apologies if already posted. There are some great figures and charts included that highlight the desparity of the current financial situation before us. We are indeed experiencing a once in a lifetime event. Even once in several generations? (MHO) If there ever was a case for owning phyiscal gold and silver, surely the time is now. The ‘place’… held tightly in one’s own hand. Except for a handful of ‘insiders’, few know the final outcome of this mess. I highly doubt that ‘they’ have the best interest of the common folk in mind, or even so, know how to ‘fix’ the Fiat Fiasco.

Tonight I am glad that we have a place like the Tent. Together we can watch ‘09 unfold and benefit from the ‘group wisdom’ to unravel the mystery of thier media spin on the real situation.

Thanks, Farmboy

The only thing I have noticed is that every time I come to PP, it shows that I need to log in even though I hit the ‘remember me ‘ button originally. When I go to log in, it shows that I am loged in, so I just go back to PP.. No big deal, but I thought I would pass it on.

After reading some of the comments on the Tent and Wily and talking to a few other people in the outside world, it seems to me that the CC companies are bending over backwards to try to pi$$ of their customers. It begs the question, “Why?”. Businesses that are looking for a long term relationship with their customers try to nurture relationships and try not to do anything to jeopardize the business/customer relationship.

Could it be that they KNOW something that we don’t, at least for sure. IE: That the whole dame financial pyramid is about to collapse and they are pushing as hard as possible to get as much as they can before it happens? Knowing that once it happens, that’s the end of it and they ain’t getting anything anymore.

Or, perhaps there is an official devaluation of the dollar coming soon and they want to get as many of todays dollars from their customers before the devaluation……..

…some are having problems accessing the site…

…I forwarded their messages to Audept

….Smokke mentioned she was on Firefox….anyone else with firefox having trouble ?

….maybe they need to dump cookies and cache >?

….ideas ?

What a pleasant surprise! Long live the tent!

I ran across this guy’s missive on a you tube video.  I thought it was good and wanted to share it.  I hope this issue never dies down.  We should hold our reps feet to the fire till we at least get plausible explanation.

Steel Ignores Jet Fuel
by Edward Mitchell

I am not a scientist, nor a physicist, nor structural engineer. I am a Boilermaker, Shipbuilder, and Blacksmith Forger. Union. Now a contractor on military facilities. I build steel storage tanks for jet fuel. A few years ago, a typhoon blew through, and I got to watch a Mobil AST, with 1,000,000 gallons of diesel in it, get hit with lightning. The grounding failed, and the million gallons blew up.

Well, for a diesel fire that is. It didnt blow up. It simply caught fire, burned itself out after 4 days, blackened the steel. Catch that? One million gallons of diesel fuel, burned for 4 days, and didnt melt a thing.

The tank, 1/4″-thick steel, never melted.

Yet the 47 HUGE box-section core columns, the main structural supports of the WTC towers, are said to have melted?

Stop, Ill wet my britches laughing.

Ive melted, welded, forged, bent, twisted, repaired, sheared, punched, formed, plated, blasted and coated just about every metal you see used commonly in industry and construction, for over 32 years. Ive welded many a steel I-beam: purlin clips, joining plates, you name it.

Do you recall the explosion you see after the second plane hits the tower? What caused that?

It was the JP-8 [jet fuel] contained in the aircrafts tanks.

Did you see that huge fireball? What was that?

It was the kerosene (JP-8 is nothing more than refined kerosene, the same stuff you use in your camping stove).

It burned OUTSIDE the towers!

How could this fuel then have reconstituted itself after exploding, and put itself back inside the building?

And then?

It ran down 90 floors to melt the un-insulated I-beams? What? Shook the insulation off by jet impact? Are you kidding me? When the jet hit, it did not even knock folks down in the building below it! What nonsense!

Because I KNOW the dimensions of a 14,000 gallon fuel tank. Its about 11×11x11 — About the size on one of the many small offices on the floor that got hit. Thats all. The size of one little office the size of a 11-foot-cube.

Lets look at this another way: The volume of each of the towers was roughly 50 MILLION CUBIC FEET.

The volume of the fuel was a relatively insignificant 1,300 cubic feet, about 0.003 percent!

Yet, you would have me believe NOT my own eyes, that see an explosion of huge proportions caused by the impact of the jet plane, but rather a tale that says exploded fuel turned back into liquid form, and less than 14,000 gallons, a ridiculously small amount of fuel, ran 90 stories down the stairways (the stairwells the firefighters used to come up to see small fires) and caused the beams to melt because the impact knocked off the insulation.

I have only one reply to that: What about WTC 7. Not hit. there goes THAT THEORY.

Steel at higher temperatures may bend, but it NEVER melts or turns to dust. Never. No, not ever.

Say, how about this for an argument: From now on, Controlled Demolition, Inc. never needs to use sophisticated computer analysis on where to place the explosives, amounts, sequencesoh no. We can simply pour 10,000 gallons of diesel fuel in the basement, stand back, and watch a PERFECTLY SIMULATED controlled demolition. Right?

Thank you. After floridagold’s post at 20:37, I noticed the links on both of our posts had turned blue and worked once again just like before.

Cheers!!!
